While Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of boosting racial justice, Trump is backing abusive police, military force against nonviolent protesters, and the race relations of the 1950s.
Still, it was a rare moment of opportunity in a Congress distinguished mostly for partisan gridlock. Rep. Karen Bass and Sen. Cory Booker , perennial optimists, said they believed bipartisan action is possible — and that the shared outrage over Floyd’s death should not be squandered.

It’s law and order — or, as he shouts repeatedly on Twitter, “LAW & ORDER!” That created a wedge issue in his own party. Solidly conservative GOP senators, including Roy Blunt of Missouri and James Lankford of Oklahoma, announced it was time to remove rebels’ names from U.S. bases. Trump said he’d veto such a bill.
